Answer: A. ($210 000) cash used
Step-by-step explanation:
Purchase of Equipment = $80 000
Purchase of securities = $60 000
Purchase of Treasury stock = $ 70 000
common stock issued = $150 000
Cash used by investing activities = (- 80 000 - 60 000 - 70 000)
Cash used by investing activities = (210 000)
.The purchase of inventory falls under operating activities,therefore we donot include the amount of $120 000 in investing activities
.Issuance of common stock does not generate a cash flow. The cash flow will recognized when there are share issue costs paid in cash or when the company receives cash raised from the issue of shares
